New Speaker, Workshop Panel Content Announced for #DICE18 Summit

Newly announced for the D.I.C.E. Summit stage will be a panel called “Innovation in VR: Developing for New Mediums.” Alex Schwartz, Chief Executive Owl and Janitor of Owlchemy Labs will be sharing how to embrace the new medium of VR wholeheartedly and building native content experiences. Additionally, Schwartz will discuss building content that can only be experienced in VR and why studios attempting to mitigate VR's risk by building content that dips a toe in may not actually be mitigating their risk at all.

Panels and discussions engage with an audience of approximately 50 people and emphasizes joint exploration of ideas and concepts relevant to the industry and workplace.
